🍁 Fall Colors in Western North Carolina Are Starting to Show! 🍂

If you're planning a trip to the North Carolina mountains to see the fall foliage, I have a feeling this weekend might be getting close to peak color in some areas!

I spent this past weekend in Maggie Valley, NC, and the fall colors around Cataloochee Valley in the Great Smoky Mountains were really starting to come alive. Some beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows were beginning to show!

If you've been thinking about taking a fall road trip to Maggie Valley, Waynesville, or the Great Smoky Mountains, now might be a great time to go leaf-peeping! 🍁🏔️

📸 Here are a few pictures from my trip this past weekend!

Have you been to the mountains lately? Where are you seeing the best fall colors?

I personally love Biscuitville.

A Southern chain with just 90 locations across 3 states just beat McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, Burger King and Wendy's for best fast-food breakfast — for the fourth straight year.

Biscuitville took the top spot in USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards, with biscuits made from scratch every 15 minutes using a three-ingredient family recipe passed down from the founder's grandmother.

The chain has no microwaves, no pre-cooked ingredients and no plans to rush its expansion beyond North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia anytime soon.

I’ve got a new pimento cheese recipe for y’all, and this one is GOOD! 🧀🥓
My buddy Trey shared his Smoked Gouda Pimento Cheese with Bacon recipe with me, and I knew I had to share it with the Southern Food Ju**ie family. Creamy, smoky, cheesy, and loaded with bacon—this one’s perfect with crackers or toasted bread.
👇 I’ll put the full recipe in the comments!
